It’s The Unteachables meets I, Robot in another funny middle school tale from Gordon Korman!It’s the start of a new school year and Oliver is looking forward to a seventh-grade year full of spitballs, jokes and pranks with his friend Nathan. And their new homeroom teacher, Mr. Aidact, looks like a prime target. He’s an odd duck — with a weird, stilted vocabulary, an unusual way of looking at things, and a strangely old student teacher constantly in tow. He also has a seemingly superhuman ability to detect and defuse almost every one of Oliver’s schemes.But that’s not all of it. Mr. Aidact seems to be teaching pretty much every subject. He’s willing to take over jobs no other teacher will, like supervising detention and coaching the field hockey team. Oliver and Nathan are determined to find out what is up with this guy.What they uncover is out of this world!Mr. Aidact is, in fact, superhuman — he’s an android, a secret project of the Department of Education. And when the secret leaks out, the school and the PTA are in an uproar, and calls for his “deactivation” are loud and clear.Can Oliver and his friends turn this plan around and save the teacher they’ve grown to love and appreciate?

“In this funny and provocative outing . . . Korman, as usual, takes the side of the kids. Relayed by multiple narrators, the tale offers both different perspectives on effective teaching methods and food for thought about the notion of ‘personhood.’” — Booklist (starred review)“This novel has Korman’s trademark humor, fast pace, alternating points of view, and raucous climax. Through his understanding of what makes middle schoolers tick, Korman writes the books kids love to read and teachers ought to read.” —School Library Journal“Gordon Korman continues his winning streak of high-octane, character-driven, kid-centric and uncannily topical novels with a book looking at the not-too-distant future of Al in education. The Superteacher Project is undoubtedly up there with Korman’s finest.”—CM: Canadian Review of Materials

Super teacher project book reveiw
"The superteacher project, written by Gordon Korman, is a book full of action and Sci-Fi adventure. Oliver is one of the most skilled pranksters in all of Brightling Middle School, but when the new teacher Mr. Aidact arrives with his student teacher Mr. Perkins, Oliver's pranks start failing. All the kids in Brightling know that there is something fishy about Mr. Aidact, he seems perfect in every way. The teachers however know that he is in fact an android and part of the A. I. D. A. C. T project. I highly recommend reading this book as it is one of the best books I have ever read."
